Former Liverpool left-back Stephen Warnock believes that Sammy Lee would be a great addition to Everton's coaching staff if he were included as part of Sam Allardyce's plans.

The Blues are expected to officially confirm the appointment of Allardyce as the club's next permanent manager at some point on Thursday after the 63-year-old watched his new side comfortably beat West Ham 4-0 at Goodison Park.

There have been rumours over the past days that the incoming Everton manager could bring former Liverpool favourite Sammy Lee into his coaching staff after working with him multiple times over his career.

The news hasn't been taken well by a lot of Blues supporters - but Warnock has explained exactly why fans shouldn't be worried.
